I hope soon to be the recipient of an evaluation Sun Niagara T1000 via their "Try and Buy" program (https://www.sun.com/tryandbuy/index.jsp) and would like to try to make it available for folks with an application that they would like to run in this kind of an environment. It will be an 8-core machine (which, with their "4 threads per core pipelining", well, you get the idea...). If you are interested, please drop me a line. Applications with low floating point requirements only need apply... Only one FPU on the chip... -- Karl --
